pulseaudio is a networked sound server for Unix-like operating systems
and Microsoft Windows. It is intended to be an improved drop-in replacement 
for the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESOUND).

Pulseaudio will need a pulse group/user to run. You can add one with
	# groupadd -g 214 pulse
	# useradd -u 214 -g pulse -d /var/lib/pulse pulse
or something similar.  See http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt

Pulseaudio requires liboil, libatomic_ops, libsamplerate and libsndfile,
and libcap.  It will also make use of jack-audio-connection-kit.  All of 
these dependencies are available at SlackBuilds.org.
